PUNTA CANA CATAMARAN CRUISES
A catamaran buys you shade, a flat deck and a ladder into the water. These 15 compare the Saona runs against the shorter reef cruises out of Bavaro on price, group size and how much of the day is sailing rather than anchored.
Spend a full day reaching Saona Island by speedboat and returning by catamaran. Swim in a starfish-filled natural pool, eat a Dominican buffet, and enjoy music, dancing, and drinks. Guides such as Christian, Alex, Eduardo, and Juan help keep the long day moving.
“We had the best time with Alex and his team! Everything was really nicely organized and I definitely recommend it!”

“It was very nice, but the food part needs to be more organized. And they took a long time to take us and serve food and kept running out. So the time at the island was extremely short. Other than that everything was beautiful. And we had fun dancing on the catamaran on the way back.”

“This was a nice excursion but... I will say that only Vanessa and the photographer were interactive with the guests, but that was not the significant issue for me. I was pleasantly surprised by the 'snacks' that they provided; it was more like a light lunch. Muy Bien! 👍🏽 Unfortunately, we were RUSHED at the stops. We might have spent 20-30 minutes at each location (3 total). That was absolutely not enough time, especially when we were snorkeling and looking at the fish. This entire excursion from the time we set sail and returned may have been 2.5 hours or so total. It was also in poor taste to go…”
